Not recommended to try hitching along this highway - Not much traffic, nowhere really good to stop. Fortunately someone stopped for me anyway after walking for 30 minutes. Going towards Ohrid there's more traffic on the lower road leaving Bitola.―VagrantEntity

Maybe I was just lucky but it took me ten minutes to catch a ride to Ohrid. Traffic is visibly higher than at the border thanks to people coming from monastery. Also I recommend you to stand not here but behind the bridge as this gives you better visibility than standing right at the curve―Autostopeks

Guy was a taxi driver instead. He said no money is okay but then he demanded 50euro. His friend also jumped in mid trip so I didn’t feel safe. Just make sure they are not a taxi driver. Not a pleasant hitch experience 🥵―Hucksyboi

Solo female. This spot at the entrance to Lakeview Hotel is better than from the abandoned Hotel Euvopa, the autocamp, or the wildcamp spot before that, because it is not after a turn like the others, and cars are not fast for some reason (they can also see you from afar). There's a huge pullout for cars to stopSigned for Resen and Bitola (ultimate destination). A local grandpa was going to Resen but drove an extra 30km to Bitola for me🥹🥹

Solo female. Asked a random car if they were heading down toward Lake Ohrid. They initially said they had too much stuff but were then willing to reorganize to fit me in :)―GloriaF

Solo female. I asked my previous ride to drop me off here so I can get another ride into the national park. Traffic was very very light here at the NP entrance for the first 30min of waiting, then a bunch of cars came from the Albania direction. But many were unwilling to take meHowever, the fee station guy also nicely helped me ask (in Macedonian), and he found me a couple who took me to the Koritski Rid viewpoint. I just asked a car at the viewpoint to take me back down when I was done

Solo female. Sign for St Naum and got a ride from within 10min. This spot is right outside the parking lot for the museum. A decent amount of traffic and has a huge pullout for cars to stop―GloriaF

Solo female. Signed for St Naum and was picked up by a guy going to Gradiste in 10min. Many people are heading in that direction, but there are many beaches before St Naum so not everyone goes all the way there. So it was helpful to be taken halfway stillThis spot is shaded and next to the exit of a parking lot, where cars can stop. Lots of traffic and cars are slow
